Review from N'Tijah Wray

N'Tijah Wray

The movie section is great and mostly up to date. The TV section is a bit disappointing but y'know and the Crackle originals are actually pretty dope from what I have seen. The ads are a little overboard but y'know it's free so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

The Good: Buffering is not an issue with this app. The fresh look is great and much easier to navigate around. Some of the original Crackle TV series they have are actually pretty good. Movie selection is fair. The Bad: Crashes when fast forwarding or reminding. Auto-play when casting to a device doesn't work. You have to go and manually find the series and play it from there. Overall, I enjoyed the app and you will to. I primarily use it to watch some of the TV series they have. My favorites: The Art of More, Chosen, and Sequestered. Need new episodes though.

Crackle used to be a dependable site/app. Now it seems like the app, whether on my phone or on my ps4, is rarely functional. How is crackle a sony network yet it appears that the app is not compatible with the ps4 network? I thought sony was a big company that pride themselves on quality? Why do I have to go to a url to activate my account if I already have the app? Did sony put any money into developing this app or was this app a result of a school project?

Just downloaded so far i see few interesting tv shows and movies i haven't seen in awhile and some new ones i hope they keep adding more movies because it as much i do like classics it also need more up to date movies and there are millions of movies and shows that can be added here. I'll come back with another review for now its 1 stars.

Fuck You

Love you guys, been a viewer for years, even had the PS3 app. :3 ❤ I was homeless and crack provided me entertainment on cold nights, really fantastic thing y'all are doing. Nowadays I'm a homeowner!! :D But I still use crackle, sometimes over netflix like right now. Cheers

There were too many ads that showed while watching with this app. Every 10 min there was a break in whatever I was watching and 8 different 30 second ads would show. That's 4 min of ads per 10 min of film—ridiculous, even for a free app. Don't even bother, no one should be desperate enough to endure the constant ads. This app should be considered as an app for viewing commercials, with some narrative content sprinkled in between.

I like the variety of content available considering it is a free service. I can deal with commercials as a compromise. Terrible, terrible app performance on a consistent basis. App locks up 20 secs into a commercial and you are stuck. Force stop, uninstall and reinstall still doesn't seem to fix it. Very disappointed in the lack of basis performance from a streaming surface. IMO, look for content elsewhere. I don't experience these problems with any other streaming or casting app.

It's free. I get it. How could anyone complain about something that's free right? C'mon Crackle! I stopped watching a year ago cause there were no new lineups. No new movies and no good movies. I come back to try it again after a year and you be made absolutely no changes! The same crappy B-movies from a year ago are still there! Free or not, who wants to keep watch the same damn movie and tv show over and over?

Crackle sucks! I have used the same password and email address for years to sign into my crackle account whenever I have to download the app again and these stupid aholes are telling me that they are both unrecognizable. I mean really?! How stupid can they be? I am NEVER downloading the app again if I ever get a new phone cause they SUCK!!!!

I literally downloaded this becasue i wanted to watch Valkyrie Chronicles cuz i bought the new game...so i mean. For that reason. Sure. 5 stars. UPDATE: THEY REMOVED THE ONLY REASON FOR ME HAVING THE APP. THE HELL IS THIS BS. I WANT MY METAPHORICAL REFUND BACK

I really Liked this app before they updated it.. I lost all the movies i wanted to watch and my favorites because now u have to sign in. Plus they added more Ads, so now im like "now This is too many ads."

Hey Shannon, Thank you for the review. Just want to clear the misconception about signing up. You are not required to sign-up to view any of our content. However, if you register, you will be have the option to continue the video later from where you left.

The old version was much better. This one mixes expired films with available ones on the watch later list and movies start without being able to read about them first. And the tiny shrinking screen is annoying and hard to stop.

It only deserves four stars because it keeps on stopping and every time I un-pause it takes to long to play again. So to get five stars u got to fix this because when I got it, I loved it. Then it started acting crazy for some particular reason. So please fix it.

Hi Ariana, You should report any issue to our customer care at http://www.crackle.com/outreach/customersupport they will be able to help you identify and fix the issue.

Bob D. July 17, 2017

App does not work on Nvidia shield TV. Since the latest update of 5.0.2 EDITED UPDATED I have since msged Crackle continuously about fixing this. Did get a msg from their technical support saying a update was available and for 2 weeks plus I been checking..NO UPDATE... So who knows how much longer its gonna be broke as they have not clearly updated the app either...SMH STILL BROKE - July 17,1017

Can't beat free! I'm just a little disappointed bc I'm on eps.6 of their original show Startup( bad*as show) and it won't play. Says play a dif show til it's fixed and now nothing will load apparently. I'm pissed. This is on a roku btw so I don't see why this is happening. Didn't have this issue at all for the first week

I understand that this is a free app so not expecting brand new movies, but the selection of movies is very poor there are a couple movies that I could enjoy such as "the mask" and "ultra violet" everything else was a movie that would have gone straight to DVD. As a big anime fanatic I have got to say I am greatly dissapointed in thier anime department which contained onky 10 anime shows... all old anime except SAO which is probably most popular one. To conclude bad bad bad!!

decided to give it a try...now i was expecting a few ads and a certain criteria of movies again because the app is free. however i am 22 minutes into my movie and i have already had to sit through 6 minutes and 30 seconds of ads/commercials. that is just way too much to ask of any user. my suggestion...lower the amount of ads or you will loose users in record amounts. sad to say...i don't think this app is for me.

The offerings are of course quite limited - this is free after all. Two main criticisms: 1. Watching the same 3 ads in sequence over and over is really annoying. I would suggest a larger variety of ads played one at a time more frequently. 2. Every time I start watching an episode or movie on my Android 7.0 Samsung phone, it plays a few seconds and then skips to about the 75% mark. I have to back up to the beginning to get it to play properly. Also, there is a certain amount of random crashing after the sound starts to Loop and the picture freezes.

Really a 4.5 instead of a 4. I like Crackle because it is Free and it doesn't overwhelm you with commercial breaks like other free streaming services try to do. I dont mind the occasional ad, Crackle has less ads than a nornal tv network show. A break lets me finish folding laundry or hw or whatever. Crackle has some really good original shows I highly recommend Snatch; cool well acted slick show. Super Mansion is good too, if you like robot chicken. There is other good stuff too. They usually have a few good fairly decent hit movies on Crackle and some good old tv shows like Seinfeld. The rest of the content is filler B movies that stinks or you never heard of. Who cares about those becuz its free. Whether or not you cut the cable/sat bill; Crackle should be checked out, they got stuff worth watching and like I said, Free!

I like that they're upfront and tell you they show advertisements during the movies. But there's no way to pay for the shows to skip the ads. Or I didn't find this option. But I can't stand advertisements during a show, no way. Have to uninstall this :-/

I love Crackle!! Ya'll never betrayed us like Hulu did, so glad you're free! Stay that way! Awesome movies and cool shows... (PS if you guys buy out Tubi TV and stay free, Crackle will rule the world... Just FYI) LOVE CRACKLE!!!!

Watched Crackle about 3 years ago regularly from Colombia and China. Reinstalled just recently and it's a shadow of its former self. Selection halved and too many commercials. Content also restricted if you're connecting outside the us without vpn. Sad. I remember watching movies without one single ad.

It doesn't have TV shows from now-a-days. Especially Supernatural. If they add that I'll love the app. It also needs a bigger variety of movies, it only has movies for old people. (No offence to anyone).

This is the worst app ever! They don't have ANY kids shows or movies! I looked for A dog's purpose and nothing came up! This is going to blow your mind, I looked up pokemon and nothing came up!! I am sooo Mad! This is the only free movie app I could find and I still can't watch the stuff I want to!!😡😡👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

The movie section is great and mostly up to date. The TV section is a bit disappointing but y'know and the Crackle originals are actually pretty dope from what I have seen. The ads are a little overboard but y'know it's free so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Wow, Something happened with Crackle about 2 months ago. Had it for a year using Chrome cast with No issues except recently. So what is going on, Crackle? App freezes...start over..kicks back to starting over again, Refreshed...No solutions..now it is rated just ok. Fix the problem for better enjoyment, PLEASE!

TAMMI KIRLEW August 8, 2017

So after using this app about 3 years ago i found nothing would load up. 3yrs on I Thought I'd give them another go AND GUESS WHAT? ?? its FAILED TO LOAD THE HOMEPAGE FOR ITEMS TO WATCH NOW. I've looked in Tv and Movies and nothing loads nil nada zilch. Seems they've achieved absolutely nothing in them 3 years!

Brian Butler July 9, 2017

Your app crashes every time I try to start a movie. I can't even get to the title screen before it crashes. This app you're so proud of sucks and I'm deleting this piece of junk.

Hi Brian, We sincerely regret that you were unable to watch the movie. We are working hard to resolve any unintended crashes. We will be grateful if you could report your specific issue at http://www.crackle.com/outreach/customersupport and we will resolve it for you.

Chelsea Juiliano June 24, 2017

The app won't even open anymore. It literally just closes with an error message, when I attempt to open it. It used to be my favorite app, but those days are long gone.

Fernando Paredes July 10, 2017

I used this app time ago. Really good for the price. Now I tried, but it is so frustrating that I can not login. Even as a free app does not worth the time spent testing this app. I want to delete my account but I can not and I do not receive response from support.

Who the hell is the Suave man? We don't care! We just want to watch an entire show without being asked about the Suave man every five minutes! Geez! After using this app for years, I am now uninstalling it. The ads are now worst than ever and the same ads at that.

There is no way to get into and enjoy a movie on crackle. I watched "Attack the Block" and literally there was an ad break around every 6-10 minute mark, with each ad break lasting usually a little over two minutes and always playing the exact same ads.

Very amazing and useful but still needs some work. The app crashes when you try to skip ahead in some shows and movies. Also sometimes the movies and shows won't play or stop playing and won't resume. Please fix

Interrupting the movies and the selection is really old. I understand to have a few ads, but this is over the top. Plus, it starts automatically at the most inconvenient times. Unbearable and unacceptable.

Hi Amanda! Thank you for your review. We sincerely apologize for the experience, we hate that you’re having such trouble. If you contact our customer support team at http://www.crackle.com/outreach/customersupport they will be able to help you identify and fix the issue.

drawingwihPizza July 20, 2017

Its horrible! I can't find my shows and every time I search something it lags me out of it and I can never watch my anime 😮

This is not what the experience we what our users to have. If you have any issues, please report your specific concerns at http://www.crackle.com/outreach/customersupport and we will resolve it at the earliest. Thank you for the review.

Matthew Trevino September 26, 2017

Need more less ads. O and it buffers to much you watch loading and ads more than the movies and shows. It all so freeze and you have to start over. Is A good idea but it needs more work.

Big improvement from the previous app. If I had to make one complaint it would be that it's really easy to disconnect from Chromecast if you browse the app while casting, just touch that little screen in the bottom corner by accident (and it's right in the way) and everything shuts down. Other than that, it's a pretty sweet app.

Crackle has a nice selection of shows to watch But But But the app is constantly freezing crashing 3 to 4 times during each tv episode and even more during movies making the entire experience miserable I tried the app for a few months made complaints updates never addressed the issue so I uninstalled and now a few months later I reinstalled it today and it still constantly freezes and crashes I am uninstalling it again

"It has lots of ads and not slot of good movies and shows but it is fine for watching some movies and the ads also are the same in the movie and ads are 1 minute to 2 minutes long and the movie you can skip the ads but their is not a button to do that you have to so it on your own but the rest is good."
